I've just come back from a trip to New York. As I am a little Masochistic I prefer to stay at home organizing the photos I took instead of going out and enjoy these beautiful summer days.
Before leaving I bought this amazing photography book, featuring a collection of really wonderful pictures: shots by unknown photographers and very famous artists such as Alfred Stiegliz, Berenice Abbot, Paul Strand...just to name a few.
You can find it here. I fell in love with it.
I saw a lot of things, took many pictures with my faithful iPhone and walked so much that at the end of the trip I was almost forced to throw my shoes away.
I saw a painting by Jackson Pollock and I got lost in that wonderful whirlpool of colors.
I saw some unmistakable signs of Lucio Fontana's stay in NY. This one was taken at a building site near Central Park. Someone even guessed that it might have been Zorro to do that (alright, alright...that was a silly joke).
Every day I enjoyed the sunset light.
I saw a child saying hello to the East River.
I noticed some sort of geometry and rhythm both in the city's landscape and people.
Finally, at the Museum of Natural History, I found out that I am ready to pass the so called "bikini test"... well... on the moon least.
I want to add one last thing that has nothing to do with New York. As it often happens in Summer, some people (I don't know who) have decided to abandon their undesired pets. I have been having Micio (a cat) as a guest at my place for a few days already. I found him stranded on the road and he has soon become Omero's favorite playmate. Omero has managed to resist the temptation to eat the cat and now they get along pretty nicely (well, actually there are a few logistics problems - when Micio gets hold of Omero's tail or when he tries to approach Omero's bowl for example - that still haven't been effectively addressed...)
